The Sounds Of Bones

|

Sooo…

It seemed after yesterday post that the only way to describe the sounds rhythm bone made of different materials made was to record them. Having decided to give it a go this morning I stuck myself in front of the webcam and gave it a try. Unfortunately it didn’t work out that well, mainly because the sound sounded like it was going through some sort of long hose. I then wanted to connect a better microphone to the computer only to find that I couldn’t find a wire I’m sure I have, it’s around here somewhere, that plugs a mic into a jack input….

Two hours later I ended up setting up an old digital 8 camcorder which doesn’t have the best mic either but. At least that way I had warmed up enough to dare post it: my first rhythm bone youtube video!

It seems to have gotten a bit distorted, probably when I converted it for the web, but the sound’s not too bad, I think the differences can be heard. Yes, No?

  3. and BTW: the distortion I mentioned is the image size that’s a bit stretched vertically, not the sound… :-P
